TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a fingerprint recognition method and a mobile terminal.

BACKGROUND

Nowadays, fingerprint recognition has gradually become a standard feature of mobile terminals, through which unlocking, encryption, and payment can be realized on a mobile terminal. A fingerprint module usually requires a fingerprint sensor built in a fixed opening at an inner layer of glass. To increase a screen-to-body ratio of a mobile terminal and make it more convenient for a user to use fingerprint recognition, a full-screen fingerprint technology has become a new direction of fingerprint recognition development.

Existing fingerprint recognition of a mobile terminal collects a pattern of lines on the surface of a finger by using an array, to obtain a fingerprint image. This mainly includes capacitive, photoelectric, and ultrasonic methods, and the like. The most widely used capacitive fingerprint recognition is used as an example below for description. The capacitive fingerprint recognition includes a capacitor array, and contains approximately 10,000 miniaturized capacitors (different manufacturers have different sizes of internal dot matrices, and currently there are 152×200, 256×300, 128×128, and other sizes of dot matrices). When a user puts a finger on the top of the capacitor array, the finger forms an electrode plate of the capacitor array, and the back of the capacitor array becomes an insulating plate. Ridge-valley distances of a fingerprint in different regions are not equal, capacitance of each cell varies with the ridge-valley distance of the fingerprint, and may be determined using a formula for calculating the capacitance between the two plates, C=ε₀εs/d. As different capacitances correspond to different voltages in cells, a fingerprint image can thus be obtained.

At present, an arranged-in fingerprint recognition module can be placed under a screen of a mobile terminal to realize a full-screen fingerprint recognition function. Compared with the existing form of placing a fingerprint module on the front or back of a mobile terminal with a separate fixed opening, an area of a first region 101 to be scanned is dozens of times that of a second region 102 to be scanned originally (as shown in FIG. 1 ). For a full-screen fingerprint to have the same resolution as a fingerprint based on an opening placed on the front or back, the dot matrix may change from an original size of 152×200 to (152×6)×(200×12), which means that a quantity of to-be-scanned dot matrix points becomes more than 70 times as much as the original quantity. Simplified full-screen fingerprint scanning structure is shown in FIG. 2 a . In the figure, only 6 TX (drive) lines and 12 RX (receive) lines are drawn, and this 6×12 dot matrix represents a size of a dot matrix required by the current full-screen fingerprint solution. Scanning information corresponding to a fingerprint recognition drive chip of this solution is shown in FIG. 2 b . Therefore, the current full-screen fingerprint solution has the following two obvious shortcomings compared with the early fingerprint solution using a fixed opening placed on the front or back.

I. To achieve the same resolution as a fingerprint based on an opening placed on the front or back, a quantity of TX lines of a full-screen fingerprint recognition drive chip needs to be 6 times as much as the original quantity and a quantity of RX lines needs to be 12 times as much as the original quantity, which greatly increases manufacturing costs of the fingerprint recognition drive chip.

II. Because the quantity of to-be-scanned dot matrix points increases by dozens of times, power consumption per scan increases, and the time required to scan the dot matrix increases correspondingly. To obtain a full-screen fingerprint, extra power consumption and scanning time of the mobile terminal are introduced, affecting battery life of the mobile terminal and fingerprint recognition experience of a user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this disclosure.

Apparently, the described embodiments are some rather than all of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

An embodiment of this disclosure provides a mobile terminal, as shown in FIG. 3 a and FIG. 3 b , including:

a plurality of fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 distributed in an array in a predetermined fingerprint detection region 11; a plurality of fingerprint signal drive lines, that is signal transmit (TX) lines, and a plurality of fingerprint signal receive (RX) lines that are arranged in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 in a crossing manner, each of the fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 connected to one of the fingerprint signal transmit lines and one of the fingerprint signal receive lines, where the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 includes at least two partition regions, and each of the partition regions is provided with a first quantity of fingerprint signal transmit lines and a second quantity of fingerprint signal receive lines that are arranged in a crossing manner; and a fingerprint recognition drive chip 13, including a first quantity of first line connection terminals and a second quantity of second line connection terminals, where the fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions are connected to the first line connection terminals in a one-to-one manner, and the fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions are connected to the second line connection terminals in a one-to-one manner. In FIG. 3 a , a crossing point of each fingerprint signal transmit line and each fingerprint signal receive line corresponds to one fingerprint recognition electrode 12. The figure only gives a schematic representation, without all electrodes drawn.

The predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 of the mobile terminal is formed with the plurality of fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 arranged in an array. The fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 may be capacitive fingerprint recognition electrodes, or certainly may be other types of fingerprint recognition electrodes. The fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 herein can be understood as fingerprint recognition sensors. A fingerprint recognition array can be formed by arranging the plurality of fingerprint recognition electrodes 12, and a pattern of lines on the surface of a finger can be collected based on the fingerprint recognition array. Both a plurality of fingerprint signal drive lines, that is, signal transmit TX lines, and a plurality of fingerprint signal receive lines are arranged in a crossing manner in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11. One fingerprint signal transmit line crosses the plurality of fingerprint signal receive lines, and one corresponding fingerprint signal receive line crosses the plurality of fingerprint signal transmit lines. One fingerprint signal receive line and one fingerprint signal transmit line form a crossing point at a crossing.

Herein, each fingerprint recognition electrode 12 is connected to one fingerprint signal transmit line and one fingerprint signal receive line. One fingerprint recognition electrode 12, a corresponding fingerprint signal transmit line, and a corresponding fingerprint signal receive line form a signal transmission circuit. The fingerprint recognition electrode 12 can generate a voltage change signal when receiving a touch operation of a finger of a user, and transmit the generated voltage change signal through the signal transmission circuit formed by the fingerprint recognition electrode 12, the fingerprint signal transmit line, and the fingerprint signal receive line.

The predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 of the mobile terminal includes at least two partition regions. The partition regions have a same quantity of corresponding fingerprint signal transmit lines, and also a same quantity of corresponding fingerprint signal receive lines. The quantity of corresponding fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions is a first quantity, and the quantity of corresponding fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions is a second quantity. The first quantity and the second quantity may be the same or different, and need to be determined based on the quantity of fingerprint signal transmit lines and the quantity of fingerprint signal receive lines in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 and a region partitioning rule.

The mobile terminal further includes a fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. The fingerprint recognition drive chip 13 includes first line connection terminals and second line connection terminals. A quantity of the first line connection terminals is the same as the quantity of fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions, and a quantity of the second line connection terminals is the same as the quantity of fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions. In addition, the first line connection terminals are connected to the fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions, and the second line connection terminals are connected to the fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions, so that the at least two partition regions can share one fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. The fingerprint signal transmit lines, fingerprint recognition electrodes 12, and the fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions form signal transmission circuits, the fingerprint signal transmit lines are connected to the first circuit connection terminals of the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13, and the fingerprint signal receive lines are connected to the second line connection terminals of the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. Therefore, the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13 can obtain signals corresponding to the fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 through the first line connection terminals and the second line connection terminals, and generate corresponding fingerprint images based on the signals corresponding to the fingerprint recognition electrodes 12.

The fingerprint recognition drive chip 13 is connected to a processor of the mobile terminal. After being connected to the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13, the processor can obtain change signals collected by the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13, and perform fingerprint recognition processing based on the change signals.

According to the foregoing mobile terminal, one fingerprint recognition drive chip can control all the partition regions. In this way, a full-screen fingerprint recognition solution can reduce manufacturing costs of the fingerprint recognition drive chip, and reduce a scan area of the fingerprint recognition drive chip, thereby reducing power consumption of the mobile terminal, guaranteeing normal battery life of the mobile terminal, and improving user experience of a fingerprint application.

In an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3 a and FIG. 3 b , a quantity of partition regions in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 of the mobile terminal is determined based on the quantity of fingerprint signal transmit lines and the quantity of fingerprint signal receive lines in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 and the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. The quantity of corresponding partition regions is at least two. An example in which the quantity of fingerprint signal transmit lines in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 is 6, the quantity of fingerprint signal receive lines is 12, and the quantity of partition regions is 6 is used for description of the embodiments of this disclosure. Where, a quantity of corresponding fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions is 3, a quantity of corresponding fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions is 4, and the 6 partition regions share one fingerprint recognition drive chip 13.

In determining the quantity of partition regions, a recognition success rate and power consumption need to be taken into account. According to the actual debugging conditions, the fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions share the first line connection terminals of one fingerprint recognition drive chip 13, and the fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions share the second line connection terminals of one fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. Therefore, a quantity of to-be-scanned dot matrix points in each of the partition regions is ⅙ of an original quantity of to-be-scanned dot matrix points in full-screen fingerprint recognition, and a resolution in each of the partition regions is the same as that of an original resolution of the full-screen fingerprint recognition. For the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13, a quantity of first line connection terminals becomes ½ of the original quantity, and a quantity of first line connection terminals becomes ⅓ of the original quantity. This helps reduce production costs of the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. After a change of the dot-matrix layout, because the quantity of to-be-scanned dot matrix points becomes ⅙ of the original quantity, a scanning speed of each scan is higher, and power consumption is lower.

Through the sharing of one fingerprint recognition drive chip by the partition regions, a quantity of required first line connection terminals or second line connection terminals can be effectively reduced under the same resolution. In addition, reduction in the quantity of to-be-scanned dot matrix points can reduce fingerprint scanning time, accelerate the scanning speed, and reduce power consumption of fingerprint scanning.

In an embodiment of this disclosure, the mobile terminal includes a display panel. The fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 and the display panel are arranged in a stacking manner, and the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 corresponds to an entire region of the display panel. The fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 and the display panel are arranged in a stacking manner, and a touch panel is disposed on the fingerprint recognition electrodes 12. When a user performs a touch operation on the touch panel, the fingerprint recognition electrode 12 can generate a change signal, and the touch panel can cover the display panel. The fingerprint recognition electrodes 12 are disposed in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11, and arranged in an array in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11. That the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11 corresponds to the entire display panel can ensure touch operations of the user on the fingerprint recognition electrodes 12.

In an embodiment of this disclosure, the fingerprint signal transmit line is one of a gate line and a data line of the display panel, and the fingerprint signal receive line is the other of the gate line and the data line of the display panel. The corresponding fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions are gate lines or data lines of the display panel, and the fingerprint signal receive lines are data lines or gate lines. When the fingerprint signal transmit lines are gate lines, the fingerprint signal receive lines are data lines. When the fingerprint signal transmit lines are data lines, the fingerprint signal receive lines are gate lines.

In an embodiment of this disclosure, the fingerprint signal transmit lines arranged in an order of a first direction in each of the partition regions are sequentially connected to each of the first line connection terminals arranged in an order of a second direction on the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. The fingerprint signal receive lines arranged in an order of a third direction in each of the partition regions are sequentially connected to each of the second line connection terminals arranged in an order of a fourth direction on the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13.

In each of the partition regions, the fingerprint signal transmit lines are sequentially arranged in the first direction. The fingerprint signal transmit lines are each connected to one of the first line connection terminals on the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. The first line connection terminals on the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13 are sequentially arranged in the second direction. The first direction is parallel to the second direction. In each of the partition regions, the fingerprint signal receive lines are sequentially arranged in the third direction. The fingerprint signal receive lines are each connected to one of the second line connection terminals on the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13. The second line connection terminals on the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13 are sequentially arranged in the fourth direction. The third direction is parallel to the fourth direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the third direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the fourth direction.

By setting the arrangement directions and arrangement orders of the fingerprint signal transmit lines and the fingerprint signal receive lines in the predetermined fingerprint detection region 11, and setting the arrangement directions and arrangement orders of the first line connection terminals and the second line connection terminals on the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13, it can be ensured that the fingerprint recognition drive chip 13 distinguishes different fingerprint recognition electrodes 12. The fingerprint recognition drive chip 13 can identify a fingerprint recognition electrode 12 with a signal change, and further determine, based on coordinate information on the mobile terminal, a location of a region where the touch operation of the user is received.

The embodiments of this disclosure mainly aim at making improvements to address the increase in manufacturing costs, power consumption and scanning time of the fingerprint recognition drive chip corresponding to full-screen fingerprint recognition compared with the current local fingerprint recognition on the front or back. An improvement is to collect only fingerprint images of the user, without caring about specific positions of the fingerprint images of the user on a screen. In addition, an area of a fingerprint image of the user is smaller than that of the screen. By making use of these two features, the screen can be partitioned. The fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions share first line connection terminals of one fingerprint recognition drive chip, and the fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions share second line connection terminals of one fingerprint recognition drive chip. Through the sharing of one fingerprint recognition drive chip by the partition regions, a quantity of required first line connection terminals can be effectively reduced under the same resolution, and a quantity of required second line connection terminals can be effectively reduced under the same resolution, reducing the manufacturing costs of the fingerprint recognition drive chip. In addition, due to the reduction in the quantity of to-be-scanned dot matrix points, the fingerprint scanning time can be reduced, the scanning speed can be accelerated, and the power consumption of fingerprint scanning can be reduced.

In another respect, through region partitioning, the fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions can share the first line connection terminals of the one fingerprint recognition drive chip, and the fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions can share the second line connection terminals of the one fingerprint recognition drive chip. The resolution of each of the partition regions can be relatively improved compared with the case in which the full-screen fingerprint signal transmit lines share the first line connection terminals of one fingerprint recognition drive chip, without the need to increase the quantity of the first line connection terminals of the fingerprint recognition drive chip, or the case in which the full-screen fingerprint signal receive lines share the second line connection terminals of one fingerprint recognition drive chip, without the need to increase the quantity of the second line connection terminals of the fingerprint recognition drive chip. In addition, the higher resolution does not lead to increased power consumption or longer scanning time for each scan to obtain the fingerprint images.

An embodiment of this disclosure further provides a fingerprint recognition method, applied to the foregoing mobile terminal. As shown in FIG. 4 , the method includes step 401 and step 402.

Step 401: Obtain corresponding fingerprint images generated by a fingerprint recognition drive chip based on signals of first line connection terminals and second line connection terminals, where the predetermined fingerprint detection region includes at least two partition regions, and fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of at least two partition regions are all connected to the first line connection terminals, and fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions are all connected to the second line connection terminals.

A processor of the mobile terminal is connected to the fingerprint recognition drive chip, and a plurality of fingerprint recognition electrodes are distributed in an array in the predetermined fingerprint detection region. In addition, a plurality of fingerprint signal drive lines, that is, signal transmit TX lines, and a plurality of fingerprint signal receive lines are arranged in a crossing manner in the predetermined fingerprint detection region. Each fingerprint recognition electrode is connected to one fingerprint signal transmit line and one fingerprint signal receive line.

In addition, the predetermined fingerprint detection region includes at least two partition regions, and each of the partition regions includes a first quantity of fingerprint signal transmit lines and a second quantity of fingerprint signal receive lines. The fingerprint recognition drive chip includes the first quantity of first line connection terminals and the second quantity of second line connection terminals, where the fingerprint signal transmit lines in each of the partition regions are connected to the first line connection terminals in a one-to-one manner, and the fingerprint signal receive lines in each of the partition regions are connected to the second line connection terminals in a one-to-one manner.

Because the fingerprint recognition drive lines and the fingerprint recognition receive lines are connected to the fingerprint recognition electrodes, the fingerprint recognition drive chip can obtain change signals corresponding to the fingerprint recognition electrodes through the fingerprint recognition drive lines, the fingerprint recognition receive lines, the first line connection terminals, and the second line connection terminals. The fingerprint recognition drive chip generates corresponding fingerprint images based on the change signals. After generating the fingerprint images, the fingerprint recognition drive chip transmits the generated fingerprint images to the processor.

Step 402: Compare the obtained fingerprint images with preset fingerprint information, and generate a fingerprint recognition result based on comparison information.

After obtaining the fingerprint images transmitted by the fingerprint recognition drive chip, the processor of the mobile terminal compares the obtained fingerprint images with the stored preset fingerprint information to determine whether the obtained fingerprint images match the preset fingerprint information. When the obtained fingerprint images match the preset fingerprint information, the processor generates, based on a matching result, information that the fingerprint recognition succeeds. When the obtained fingerprint images do not match the preset fingerprint information, the processor generates information that the fingerprint recognition fails based on a mismatch result.

When a user performs a fingerprint operation at a boundary of the partition regions, because fingerprint signal transmit lines and fingerprint signal receive lines that are connected to the fingerprint recognition electrodes in different partition regions are different, a corresponding quantity of change signals can be generated based on a quantity of occupied partition regions.

In an embodiment of this disclosure, when the at least two fingerprint images sent by the fingerprint recognition drive chip are obtained, the method further includes: determining a fingerprint image having a largest area from the at least two fingerprint images; performing matching between the fingerprint image determined to have the largest area and the preset fingerprint information; and if a matching degree between the fingerprint image determined to have the largest area and the preset fingerprint information is greater than a preset threshold, determining that fingerprint recognition succeeds.

After receiving the at least two fingerprint images simultaneously sent by the fingerprint recognition drive chip, the processor may determine that the user is performing a fingerprint operation at a boundary of the partition regions. In this case, area comparison needs to be performed on the received fingerprint images. Because different partition regions have different areas when a fingerprint operation is performed at the boundary, area comparison may be performed on the received fingerprint images. After the area comparison is performed, the fingerprint image having the largest area may be determined from the at least two fingerprint images. After the fingerprint image having the largest area is determined, the fingerprint image determined to have the largest area is compared with the preset fingerprint information, to determine the matching degree between the fingerprint image determined to have the largest area and the preset fingerprint information. When the matching degree between the fingerprint image determined to have the largest area and the preset fingerprint information is greater than the preset threshold, a fingerprint input by the user can be determined as a preset fingerprint. In this case, the fingerprint recognition succeeds.

It should be noted that, for a different quantity of received fingerprint images, a corresponding preset threshold is different. For example, if the quantity of received fingerprint images is two, the corresponding preset threshold is 50%, and if the quantity of received fingerprint images is four, the corresponding preset threshold is 25%.

It should be noted that, when a fingerprint input operation is received in a boundary region, to ensure valid fingerprint recognition in the boundary region, distances from the boundary region to two adjacent finger signal drive lines may be set to equal or minimized, and distances from the boundary region to two adjacent finger signal receive lines may be set to equal or minimized.

In an embodiment of this disclosure, the method further includes: before the mobile terminal is in a screen-on state and the predetermined fingerprint detection region receives a fingerprint operation, displaying region partitioning information.

To ensure that the user performs the fingerprint operation at a non-boundary position, when the mobile terminal is in the screen-on state, and before the predetermined fingerprint detection region receives the fingerprint operation input by the user, the mobile terminal can display region partitioning information on a display screen. The region partitioning information herein may be a region partitioning line directly displayed on the display screen, so that the user can determine the boundary region by identifying the region partitioning line.

In an embodiment of this disclosure, the step of displaying region partitioning information is specifically: displaying the region partitioning information, and outputting prompt information that prompts the user to perform the fingerprint operation within the partition region.

When the mobile terminal displays the region partitioning information, to perform fingerprint recognition better, the mobile terminal can output the prompt information on the display screen and prompt the user to perform the fingerprint operation within the partition regions, to ensure an effect of fingerprint recognition.

Alternatively, when displaying the region partitioning information, the mobile terminal may simultaneously display prompt information that prompts the user to perform the fingerprint input operation in all boundary regions. By receiving the fingerprint input operation performed by the user in all boundary regions, the received fingerprint information can be concatenated and composited into a complete fingerprint image, thereby improving a success rate of fingerprint recognition.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, after generating a fingerprint recognition success result based on comparison information, the method further includes: generating a control instruction based on the fingerprint recognition success result, and performing unlocking, encryption, or payment on the mobile terminal based on the control instruction.

After determining that the fingerprint recognition succeeds, the mobile terminal can generate the control instruction based on the fingerprint recognition success result, and control the mobile terminal to perform unlocking, encryption, or payment based on the control instruction.

For example, when the mobile terminal is in a screen-locked state, the mobile terminal is unlocked directly when the fingerprint recognition succeeds, so that the mobile terminal is in an unlocked state. Alternatively, when the mobile terminal is in a pending payment state, payment is performed directly when the fingerprint recognition succeeds.

An embodiment of the disclosure further provides a fingerprint recognition implementation, as shown in FIG. 5 , including step 501 to step 505.

Step 501: A mobile terminal is in a screen-locked state.

Step 502: Control a fingerprint recognition drive chip to scan partition regions in a predetermined fingerprint detection region.

In a scanning process, the fingerprint recognition drive chip simultaneously scans all the partition regions according to a preset scanning rule, and obtains fingerprint images after scanning.

Step 503: Compare obtained fingerprint images with preset fingerprint information.

Step 504: Unlock the mobile terminal when the fingerprint images match the preset fingerprint information.

Step 505: Keep the mobile terminal in the screen-locked state when the fingerprint images do not match the preset fingerprint information.

At least two partition regions are arranged in the predetermined fingerprint detection region, and each of the partition regions is provided with a first quantity of fingerprint signal transmit lines and a second quantity of fingerprint signal receive lines. The fingerprint signal transmit lines and the fingerprint signal receive lines in all the partition regions are connected to the fingerprint recognition drive chip. Therefore, the fingerprint recognition drive chip can be used to control all the partition regions. In this way, a full-screen fingerprint recognition solution can reduce manufacturing costs of the fingerprint recognition drive chip, and reduce a scan area of the fingerprint recognition drive chip, thereby reducing power consumption of the mobile terminal, guaranteeing normal battery life of the mobile terminal, and improving user experience of a fingerprint application.
